I don't, but I would like to...
... have one cover or postcard with post mark from each post office from Faroe Islands.
They are not so many, but without you will not be possible.
I'm waiting your feedback... and of course I will support the cost deliveries or I'll send you back some nice cover with stamps from Portugal.

Please e-mail me for details...

Vinhetas de Natal / Christmas Seals 2003

Em 2003, Edward Fuglø é novamente convidado, para ilustrar as vinhetas de Natal desse ano. O tema escolhido, foi os diversos tipos de padrões de tricô, utilizados nas Ilhas Faroé, para fazer cachecois, luvas, meias e até mantas. Muitos dos padrões representados, têm nomes bastante poéticos como: ‘Ondas’, ‘Dia e Noite’, ‘Estrelas’, ‘Olho de Ganso’ ou ‘Cabeça de Cavalo’.
A mini-folha com 30 vinhetas, foi emitida em 3 de Novembro de 2003.

‘Trolls’ de Natal, são pedaços inacabados de tricô, verdadeira vergonha para a quem o faz e não consegue acabá-lo antes da noite de Natal. Tradicionalmente, eram pendurados na sala de estar, junto da lareira.

(English version)
In 2003, Edward Fuglø is again invited to illustrate the Christmas seals of this year. The theme chosen was the different types of knitting patterns, used in the Faroe Islands, to make scarves, gloves, socks and even blankets. Many of the patterns represented, have very poetic names like: 'Wave', 'Day and Night', 'Stars’, ‘Goose Eye’ or ‘Head of Horse’.

The mini-sheet with 30 seals was issued on November 3, 2003.

'Trolls' for Christmas, are pieces of unfinished knitting, real shame for the knitter that do not finish it before the night of Christmas. Traditionally, they were hung in the living room, close to the fireplace.
